It had unprecedented support from Federal funds. It had theoretical sanction from social scientists espousing the major underpinning of its rationale: the “deprivation hypothesis,” according to which academic lag is mainly the result of social, economic, and educational deprivation and discrimination— an hypothesis that has met with wide, uncritical acceptance in the atmosphere of society’s growing concern about the plight of minority groups and the economically disadvantaged.
